In Europe and elsewhere, Muslims always Â build their minarets higher than permitted, and when caught out they scream like seared pigs and Â dhimmified authorities usually let them get away with it or impose a symbolic fine.

According to Umdat al-Salik, a manual of the Shafi’i school of Islamic jurisprudence certified as “reliable” by none other than Al-Azhar University in Cairo:

“The subject peoples … must keep to the side of the street;Â may not build higher than or as high as the Muslims’ buildings,Â though if they acquire a tall house, it is not razed; are forbidden to openly display wine or pork…recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals or feastdays; andare forbidden to build new churches.”Â (‘Umdat al-Salik, o11.3, 5).

We’re not the ones coming up with these horrible things. They just keep happening, and we keep reporting on them. “Egyptian Court Sentences Priest to Six Months for Excess Church Height,” by Mary Abdelmassih for theÂ Assyrian International News Agency, March 6:

It’s not enough that Muslims are all over the Western world demanding special accommodation for Muslim practices, at the expense of our freedoms and our principles of equality. What is even worse is that so many stupid kuffar are so eager to help them.

You know that won’t happen, mr Cameron. What are you prepared to do if they refuse to integrate?

In pronouncing multiculturalism a failure, Cameron joins Angela Merkel, whoÂ said the same for multiculturalism in Germany. Hopefully, his words also signal a substantive U-turn from the Labour Party’s quiet but deliberate campaign to make Britain “truly multicultural,” as if that must necessarily be a good thing, and something Britain needed in order to be better than it was. After all, if it ain’t broke, keep on fixing it ’til it is.

“Muslims must embrace our British values, David Cameron says,” by James Kirkup for theÂ Telegraph, February 5:

Society has bent over backwards to accommodate them. There can be no more waiting around for people to “want to belong.” If they don’t, why are they there? (JW)

Eight Regional Advisory Councils will be established to work in partnership with the VMC and local communities, operating as important conduits for information on regional settlement and service delivery.

Kotsiras is a clown. Attacking Police for being racist and demanding more cultural sensitivity in law enforcement is even to the left of (lefty Attorney-General Rob) Hulls, how does this muck ever see the light of day? He’s not so much off-message as on another (expletive deleted) planet. Many party members and donors have had a gutful of this sort of thing,” a Liberal insider explained (More here)

The Government will also establish a Ministerial Inter-departmental Multicultural Services Advisory Committee to co-ordinate a whole-of-government approach to multiculturalism and citizenship. Chaired by the Minister for Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship, this committee will provide an important additional link between the OMAC, VMC and government departments.

“Victoria will continue to lead the rest of the nation in multicultural affairs and the Baillieu Government will implement initiatives that will ensure Victorians learn from each other and together help forge a more inclusive and harmonious society,” Mr Kotsiras said.

Back in 2005, Danish prime minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen set the gold standard on defending free speech when, on being approached by perpetually aggrieved Islamic ambassadors hoping for official redress againstÂ Jyllands Posten (Cartoon Rage was just kicking in), he refused to hear their plaints,Â explaining to them and the world thatÂ it was not his place, as prime minister, to interfere with free speech in Denmark.

“This is a matter of principle. I will not meet with them [the ambassadors] because it is so crystal clear what principles Danish democracy is built upon that there is no reason to do so…As prime minister, I have no power whatsoever to limit the press â€“ nor do I want such power.” Â (continue reading:Â Free Speech, Then And Now/Brussels Journal)

Danish FM meets top Muslim cleric to defuse cartoon tension

Danish Foreign Minister Lene Espersen

CAIRO â€” Denmark’s foreign minister said on Wednesday that the hurt caused to Muslims from cartoons lampooning the Prophet Mohammed was “very regrettable,” after she met Egypt’s top cleric to defuse tensions caused by the re-publication of the caricatures.

Lene Espersen said she and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmed al-Tayeb, discussed “how to make sure that the great religions of the world can live peacefully side by side.”

The meeting followed the publication last last month of a book carrying the caricatures, entitled “The Tyranny of Silence.” (AFP)

Are we succumbing to Islam? Is the free world sliding into dhimmitude?

Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling non-muslim populations conquered through jihad. Specifically, it is the TAXING of non-muslims in exchange for tolerating their presence AND as a coercive means of converting conquered remnants to islam.

At its core, Islam is a religious mission to all humanity. Muslims are religiously obliged to disseminate the Islamic faith throughout the world.Â Â Â ”We have sent you forth to all mankind” (Q. 34:28). If non-Muslims submit to conversion or subjugation, this call (dawa) can be pursued peacefully. If they do not, Muslims are obliged to wage war against them. In Islam, peace requires that non-Muslims submit to the call of Islam, either by converting or by accepting the status of a religious minority (dhimmi) and paying the imposed poll tax, jizya. World peace, the final stage of the dawa, is reached only with the conversion or submission of all mankind to Islam. Muslims believe that expansion through war is not aggression but a fulfillment of the Quranic command to spread Islam as a way to peace……..

From a novel by Salman Rushdie published in 1989 to an American civil protest called “Everyone Draw Muhammad Day” in 2010, a familiarÂ pattern has evolved. It begins when Westerners say or do something critical of Islam. Islamists respond with name-calling and outrage, demands for retraction, threats of lawsuits and violence, and actual violence. In turn, Westerners hem and haw, prevaricate, and finally fold. Along the way, each controversy prompts a debate focusing on the issue of free speech. (Daniel Pipes)

One of the strongest demonstrations of Sharia as a defective and unjust system is how its cruel and unusual provisions serve especially to exploit the vulnerable in society: those who, for any number of reasons (including Sharia’s own marginalization of women and non-Muslims), are not in a position to schmooze or buy (see:Â diyya, or blood money) their way out of trouble.

The dhimmi pays the jiziya (protection money) to his Muslim masters while being humiliated and feeling subdued.

Paki Taliban leader Wali ur Rehman threaten attacks aimed against the Netherlands in response to “laws” the Netherlands may make “against Islam” and “ridiculing Islam.” He said as much in an interview on the Dutch RTL News.

“The path the Dutch government has taken for the last few years is very dangerous,” Wali ur Rehman said. “They always try to make new laws against Muslims. They ridicule Islam and try to confine it. We believe this is the first phase of the plans of the Dutch government. Therefore we will try â€” and this has a priority for us â€” to teach them a lesson. They will pay a price for making laws against Islam.” Â (Gates of Vienna /Â Read more Â»)

Council forces schools to rearrange exams and cancel lessons to avoid offending Muslims during Ramadan

Looks like Mohammedans are firmly in control in once great Britain. Its is no longer sleepwalking into Dhimmitude, this is happening with lightening speed. Check out the comments, there is quite a bit of uproar:

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, July 8 (CDN) â€”Â A Muslim mob in Jhelum, Pakistan murdered the wife and four children of a Christian last month, but local authorities are too afraid of the local Muslim leader to file charges, according to area Muslim and Christian sources. Â Â Eye on the World has the story>>>

Apologists for Islam like to quote Qur’an 2:256, which states that there is “no compulsion in religion.” There are, however, myriad forms of coercion, from the jizya tax mandated by Qur’an 9:29 to oppressiveÂ dhimma laws, and of course, outright warfare and all of its provisions for plunder, captivity, slavery, and rape (sex with captives and slaves, per Qur’an 4:24).

That same dynamic is in play here: There is no compulsion in religion, but they’ll do their utmost to make non-Muslims “an offer they can’t refuse.” “Punjab soup kitchen forbidden to Christians,” fromÂ Asia News

“Nothing to do with Islam” – Â Islam is a religion of peace, can’t blame all Muslims, Â the profit of Islam never killed anyone, Â real Muslims would never do a thing like this……” (fill in the rest yourself……………………….)

(BBC) The death toll in a double suicide bombing in a Pakistani tribal village on the border with Afghanistan has risen to more than 100, officials say.

A civilized, stable society requires anger management, not to mention a well considered set of priorities. The sense of entitlement to rule, and to retaliate against the slightest insults, and the imperative to wage jihad to achieve and maintain dominance promote neither quality. Lacking those, one finds scenes like this. “Hindus hounded into cattle pen in Karachi,” fromÂ Asian News International, July 9 (thanks to JW):

In an incident which showcases the brutal hatred with which Hindus are seen in Pakistan, at least 60 members of the minority community, including women and children, were forced to abandon their house in Karachi’s Memon Goth area just because a Hindu boy drank water from a cooler outside a mosque.

PARIS â€” Paris police on Tuesday banned a controversial “pork sausage and wine” street party planned by extremist groups to combat what they saw as the “Islamisation” of a city neighbourhood. AFP

A French government minister of Algerian descent, Fadela Amara, on Tuesday condemned the planned party as “hateful, racist and xenophobic.”

Previous Riots

Of course, it was to be held in a “heavily Muslim neighborhood” — a provocation, to be sure. And yet I can’t help but wonder what might have happened if a Muslim group in France had announced that it was going to do something in a non-Muslim area that many non-Muslims found offensive. (That would not be the same thing as holding the halal event in the same area, as described in the article below.) I expect that the same police who banned this party would be protecting the Muslims physically and lecturing the non-Muslims about “tolerance.”

Update: See alsoÂ Reuters, which reports that after the ban was announced supporters of the event wrote on theÂ Facebook pagethat they would still gather in Goutte d’Or on Friday. “It’s official â€“ Muslims can pray in the street but we don’t have the right to eat pork there. France is now ruled by sharia,” one supporter wrote. The Reuters report adds: “The Paris event page also carried announcements of similar ‘sausage and wine’ parties in Lyon, Toulouse, Brussels and London, where the event is called a ‘bacon and beer‘ party.”

Various CAIR representatives have made a number of appearances on Fox News shows as guests without mention of the group’s ties to Hamas or terrorist financing.

Chairman of Americans Against Hate (AAH) Joe Kaufman stated, “It is apparent that Fox News and its shows’ hosts wish to legitimize CAIR by giving the pro-terrorist group a forum to speak. This has happened too many times in the recent past to be given a pass as a small error in judgment. If Fox wishes to be considered a station of integrity, it will end this dangerous trend immediately.”

Islam Becomes Taboo Topic on TV in Wake of ‘South Park’ Threats and Times Square Scare

20 Apr 2010Â …O’Reilly is advocating adherence toÂ Islamic law on national television. Starts at minute 4:00 …. “This risk is higher than theÂ reward. Â It’s a dark day, America, when a leading punditÂ on the FOXÂ network, even a clownish one, admits that the risk ofÂ the threat of Muslim violence outweighs the benefits ofÂ free speech. Does O’Reilly understand what he has said and done?

Don’t mess with Allah. That’s the new, unwritten code in Hollywood following the one-two punch of Islamic extremists’ threats against the creators of “South Park” and the failed bombing attempt outside the cartoon’s parent company, Viacom, inÂ New York‘s Times Square….

CAIR taqiyya in overdrive: CAIRÂ says it surveyed the mosques in Time Square bomber Faisal Shahzad’s home state of Connecticut and concluded that Shahzad did not worship at any of them and therefore was not religious. (WTF?)

Brave people:

As part of the network’s upfront presentation to advertisers, Comedy Central is set to announce “JC,” a half-hour show about Christ wanting to escape the shadow of his “powerful but apathetic father” and live a regular life in New York City.

Kicking at what protects, cowing before what threatens. Where must that lead?

The Narrative of Defeat

It is now life-threatening to criticize or mock Islam in the United States of America. The creators of South Park, Viacom, and anyone associated with the production of a recent episode portraying Mohammed in a bear suit would have potentially risked life and limb if they had broadcast the original cartoon sketch. In a manner eerily reminiscent of the Danish cartoon jihad, a Brooklyn-based Muslim group called Revolution Muslim posted a threat to South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker for their “outright insult” to the prophet.

What is a free country? Is it a country that is free of being ruled by any other country, or is it a country of free people who are not afraid. The truth is that no country can be free, unless its people are free. Not freedom as embodied in legal documents or stirring anthems, which nearly every country has, but free in their minds. Unafraid to believe, to speak and to live.

Tyranny isn’t a man holding a gun to your head and telling you what to do. Tyranny is when you do what you’re told, because you’re holding the gun to your own head. And then you have become a collaborator in your own oppression. It is possible to be enslaved without ever becoming a slave. And it is sadly possible for people to act like slaves without any chains being anywhere in sight.
